The Boston Bruins are one of the top 3-4 teams in the NHL this season, but they’ve had a hard time getting regulation wins as of late. Boston is just 4-1-5 over their last 10.
Edmonton has preferred to do their losing in regulation, going just 3-6-1 over their last 10.

Not only does Edmonton have to go on the road for an early start Saturday, they have to do it at TD Garden where the Bruins are 14-1-9 on the season. Boston is a big favorite in this one at -210.
Edmonton Oilers
Any chance Edmonton can sneak their way into a road victory here? The Oilers have dropped 3 of their last 4 and their #19 goal scoring and #28 SOG offense is playing like it.
In the past 9 games, the Oilers have been held to 2 goals or less 7 times. That offense did look great on New Year’s Eve though, netting 7 goals vs. NYR thanks to a hat trick from James Neal.
Besides that win over New York and a 4-3 win over Montreal, the Oilers have just 11 total scores in 7 games. Oh by the way, Boston has the #1 defense in the league in goals allowed.
Boston Bruins
The only thing that really makes the Bruins vulnerable on Saturday afternoon is that they’ve played a whole lot of hockey lately. 5 of the last 8 Boston games have gone into OT.
Despite getting in a little extra skate time as of late, the Bruins are still in a really good spot overall. Bruce Cassidy’s team has 59 points on the year, tied with Washington for the most in the league.
The Bruins did lose their 1st game of the 2020 calendar year though and in a very similar spot as the game vs. Edmonton. Boston fell 1-2 to Columbus at TD Garden on Thursday and as whopping -221 favorites.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Oilers are 3-9 last 12 overall
- Oilers are 1-4 last 5 road games
- Bruins are 4-10 their last 14 overall
- Bruins are 2-6 last 8 home games
- Oilers are 7-2 last 9 meetings
Free Edmonton Oilers vs. Boston Bruins NHL Prediction:
Boston is too big of a risk at the -210 price tag. Yes the Bruins have only lost 1 game in regulation at home on the year, but they’ve dropped a ton of them in OT. That includes Thursday when Boston fell as a -221 favorite.
One thing for certain is that even in a loss, Boston probably won’t give up a ton of goals as they have the #1 defense in the league. Despite an anomaly or two over the past two weeks, Edmonton isn’t going to net a lot of pucks either.
The best ROI in this game is on a total pick. As long as Boston’s offense doesn’t go nuts (they’ve scored more than 3 just once the last 8 tilts) a lower scoring game would be the play.
